I broke my phone a few months ago and I hadn’t use a phone since I didn’t need it until now. I’m willing to buy one that’s around under 500$. I’m thinking of getting google pixel maybe, any recommendations?

    It’s well-supported by LineageOS and will probably remain supported for longer than most other phones. That’s the only benefit that I’m aware of, but that makes it already better than like 99% of phones on the market.

      Well yes! It is dead easy to have a de-googled phone. You can then do all the things in firefox etc. you do to enhance privacy. Install apps via F-Droid store (open source apps only). Some VPN provider have their apps on F-Droid as well.

      If you still need some level of Google services, I suppose you could install MicroG. I haven’t tried that though.
